Brighton's Green MP Up Against Attenborough In Environment Awards

Wednesday, 18 November 2020 13:30

By Adam Richardson @adamrichradio

The Green MP for Brighton Pavillion, Caroline Lucas, has been shortlisted for a national People Envionemtn Achievement (P.E.A) award.

Caroline Lucas has made the shortlist for the Eco-Hero of the Decade award, with the other two contenders being David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg.

The new award category celebrates those who have made 'an enormous contribution to getting the climate crisis into mainstream discourse'.

The category is being judged by an all-female panel, comprising Cat Fletcher, Jo Wood, Jordan Brompton, Katie Hill, Michelle Senecal de Fonseca and Safia Minney.

Judge, Katie Hill, said:

"P.E.A. judges always have a tough job, and that was more true this year than ever. The entries were extremely diverse, demonstrating the creativity and dedication of eco pioneers all over the UK. 10 years after the P.E.A. Awards launched, it’s fair to say that sustainability has become a mainstream issue that’s being championed by everyday heroes from all walks of life."

A panel of judges is set to make the final decision, with the winner being announced during a virtual ceremony on Friday (November 20).
